Dolman Sleeve Top - MariaDenmark Olivia Oversize Top

Made two tops from Maria Denmark's pdf Dolman sleeve pattern.

Pattern:  MariaDenmark 105-Olivia

Fabric: rayon/polyester mix light knit

Alterations: shortened sleeve 2"; shortened body 2".  The bottom band was too big, so wrapped fabric snugly around waist/hip area and used that as the band length.  Neckline was too low, so raised it about 2".

Conclusion:   A very comfortable loose top.

More Bags

Made these Lined Drawstring Bags in the snack size.  The one on the right had to be pieced since I cut it wrong the first time and didn't have enough fabric to cut another whole piece.

Lined Drawstring Bag by In Color Order

 
A large Essential Wristlet with two zippers. Those flared out corners on the bottom are really bugging me. The inside pocket will fit a passport. Interfaced with Presto for both exterior and lining fabric and used Pellon 988 for the interlining.  Pellon 988 is a sew-in polyester fleece.
